An Old Friend - Javier Moro

I lived in L.A for five years and thanks to Marche I never felt I was too far away from home. She was my family there, always caring, always present. She had a big heart and thanks to her I could live one of the most beautiful adventures of my life. I tought I had never thanked her enough for it and was planning to visit her in a near future, to show her my kids, and my gratitude again. To tell her that she is part of the better memories of my life and that I always will be thinking of her. Maybe se can still hear me from somewhere in heaven, where she deserves to be.
